Thanks so much for your time and the excellent explanation!

 Just one more question: Do I need to explain why I made an excess contribution beyond saying my earned income was less than I expected?


No.  There is no difference between removing an excess and simply changing you mind and having a normal (allowable) contribution returned before the due date.    You can remove either one.  No need to explain why.
